Play in Ian Simpson's Stream Satellites Only at Unibet Poker

Do you hate grinding hard in order to satellite into a major online poker tournament, only to get busted by sharks with big bankrolls who can buy-in direct? Well Unibet Poker have just the tournament for you.

Starting June 9th, players can earn their way into a €25 buy-in Final on July 5th exclusively through satellites. The Final offers no direct buy-in which means every player must satellite in.

The lowest tier is a freeroll satellite, with passwords being given out on Unibet Poker Ambassador Ian Simpson's Twitch stream all this month. Simpson is one of many popular poker Twitch streamers out there and he'll be looking to get involved in this exciting tournament.

Satellite in for Free!

Mastering satellites is not an easy subject, but thankfully fellow Unibet Poker Ambassador Dara O'Kearney is on hand with his top tips on how to plug leaks from your satellite game.

In the article he explains how to avoid high variance plays and put yourself in a position to lock up a seat more often.

  • Avoid high variance plays - adopt a tight aggressive strategy and remove any high variance plays
  • Fold equity is King - give your opponents an opportunity to fold, even when you have a very strong hand
  • Avoid Calling - avoid high variance showdown situations as much as possible
